I have installed clear linux on my ssd, but it doesn’t have too much space left. So how do I change my /home partition !?
Create an /etc/fstab
and make an entry for /home
on the other partition. Alternatively, you can make a mount
unit (e.g. home.mount
) and stick it in /etc/systemd/system
if you prefer that method. Both are fine. Refer to man 5 fstab
or man systemd.mount
for directions on the content of these files. If you make a mount unit, make sure to systemctl enable
it so it gets mounted at boot time.
Some more background information on what @ahkok said here:
I noticed when I create a mount for /var on a disk separate disk from root that it breaks the system entirely. Have to remove the new /var mount and run reinstall to get system working again. Hopefully this issue is fixed with new update.
I always keep /var /home and other growing folders on a separate HDD to avoid writes to SSD
Better for speed too.
You can still do a daily backup to that SSD with a single zipped tar file.
